Program
The 2024 RLN Program will focus on best practices to facilitate Equity in Research. We sought out abstracts that specifically address emerging strategies used to foster and mentor growth in research amongst nursing leaders. Our session will feature a series of speakers followed by interactive small group workshops.
At the end of the session, the participant will be able to:
-
Describe successful research mentoring programs
-
Engage new researchers & provide guidance as they begin their trajectory of research
-
Implement lessons learned from current research mentoring programs
